Newly appointed RVP to work on growth strategy in APAC region
Degreed, the global innovator in learning, chosen by more than 100 of the Global 2000 businesses, has appointed Venkat Subramaniam as Regional Vice President of APAC with first priority to set the stage for high growth in the region, particularly in India, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.
The market-oriented appointment of Subramaniam is in response to the increasing demand for learning solutions that meet modern workforce needs and demands.
“Venkat brings deep market expertise and industry connections to Degreed and we are excited to see his cloud and strong HCM (Human Capital Management) domain experience impact Degreed’s APAC strategy and growth,” said Dan Tesnjak, Vice President of EMEA and APAC at Degreed.
“He has extensive experience in the APAC region with technology companies spanning more than two decades,” added Tesnjak on 29 May 2022.
Companies need help with learning. With leading clients including Tata Communications, Swiggy, Ericsson, CavinKare and Asian Paints in the region, Degreed is well positioned to support organisations in improving their workforce skills, ability to adapt to change, meet new market needs and engage employees.
With an average end user Net Promoter score of over 40, Degreed said it is helping millions of businesses around the globe build new skills and create opportunities for career impact and growth.
Degreed’s Learning Experience Platform (LXP) provides a market-leading, open ecosystem for L&D teams to curate learning opportunities and offer personalized learning to meet every learner’s needs and aspirations. This is complemented by the company’s experiential learning and Intelligence products that, in turn, stretch newly learned skills and help L&D leaders understand the availability and demand for specific skills in their organisations.
Prior to joining Degreed, Subramaniam was a General Manager, Head of Sales at Oracle NetSuite India. He also had successful stints at ADP and Adrenalin — both leading HCM product and services organisations. He completed his General Manager program at MIT Sloan School of Management, and he enjoys coaching and mentoring emerging talent — something that led him to complete a Coaching Diploma at Ericksson, Canada.
“Since launching the first LXP 10 years ago, Degreed has continued to pioneer and innovate in the learning space. I am particularly delighted to be joining the team at this critical time in its global expansion,” noted Subramaniam.
“Degreed plays a vital role in helping leading, global organisations drive change, most notably in supporting Unilever employees to adapt to a digitally transformed factory, in Swiggy to shift its business model and Ericsson in upskilling its workforce ready for 5G.
“There are huge opportunities to leverage in APAC,” he added.
